-2x-10=4%2B5x Start with the given equation.


-2x=4%2B5x%2B10 Add 10 to both sides.


-2x-5x=4%2B10 Subtract 5x from both sides.


-7x=4%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-7x=14 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2814%29%2F%28-7%29 Divide both sides by -7 to isolate x.


x=-2 Reduce.
